Kranky Karl: 7 Celebs Lagerfeld Has Had Something To Say About

Posted by , on May 30, 2012 at 2:44 pm

CHANEL cheif designer Karl Lagerfeld acknowledges the public during the Fall/Winter 2012-2013 ready-to-wear collection show, on March 6, 2012 at the Grand Palais in Paris.

By now you all know about the John Travolta massage situation, which basically involves a ton of young men in Hollywood claiming that Travolta sexually abused them in some way. Whether or not it is true, [...]

By now you all know about the John Travolta massage situation, which basically involves a ton of young men in Hollywood claiming that Travolta sexually abused them in some way. Whether or not it is true, Lagerfeld responded to a reporter who asked if there was anyone he'd like to give a massage to by saying, "No, I'm not John Travolta." 

A few months ago, Lagerfeld praised singer Adele -- but called her "too fat." Obviously, people were furious. Lagerfeld has allegedly apologized to her with a CHANEL bag, but that has not been confirmed. [...]

A few months ago, Lagerfeld praised singer Adele -- but called her "too fat." Obviously, people were furious. Lagerfeld has allegedly apologized to her with a CHANEL bag, but that has not been confirmed. You could run over me with a car and give me a CHANEL bag and I'd probably shut up. 

Even though he allegedly dressed Heidi Klum, he had some not-so-nice things to say about the German beauty, such as that she had no place on the famed Parisian runways. "I don’t know her,” he told a [...]

Even though he allegedly dressed Heidi Klum, he had some not-so-nice things to say about the German beauty, such as that she had no place on the famed Parisian runways. "I don’t know her,” he told a British tabloid. “Claudia [Schiffer] doesn’t know her. She was never in Paris. We don’t know her.” Well, that's kind of my favorite quote of all time. 

On a more malicious and strange note, Karl sounded off against Heidi's ex-hubby Seal, stating, “I am no dermatologist, but I wouldn’t want his skin…He is covered in craters.” Classy, [...]

Don't bite the hand that feeds you! Karl said the following about Coco Chanel: "Coco did a lot, but not as much as people think–or as much she herself thought at the end of her career." UGH. Without [...]

Don't bite the hand that feeds you! Karl said the following about Coco Chanel: "Coco did a lot, but not as much as people think–or as much she herself thought at the end of her career." UGH. Without Coco, there is no tweed. There are no quilted purses. Calm down.

Karl is apparently crazy for Kate Middleton, but thought Princess Diana was stupid. "She is very different from Princess Diana, and seems very well balanced and a happy person. She is chic in a way the position needs," he said. I guess he has something nice to say. 

Regarding M.I.A.'s Super Bowl middle finger shenanigans, Karl said, "Nowadays people give the middle finger quite quickly—it's not the best behavior. Everybody does that, what's new about that? It's just [...]

Regarding M.I.A.'s Super Bowl middle finger shenanigans, Karl said, "Nowadays people give the middle finger quite quickly—it's not the best behavior. Everybody does that, what's new about that? It's just become a bad habit. People in magazines are 50% bimbo and 50% pregnant women." So he's excusing M.I.A. but attacking everyone else? Okay...

While he is indisputably a genius when it comes to the complex world of fashion and he has completely revitalized the CHANEL label back to greatness, Karl Lagerfeld is kind of a nut in every other regard. Eccentric would even be a nice way of putting it. Nonetheless, we love our Karl just the same, but sometimes his opinions go a tad too far.

Case in point: just yesterday, Señor Lagerfeld was making the rounds when a reporter asked him about massages. I’m honestly not clear on why exactly Karl was being quizzed about massages, but whatever. Every interviewer has a different style.

Anyway, being as massages are a hot topic du jour thanks to that guy who was in Grease (I think his name is John Travolta), Karl made a cute little dig at John and his alleged penchant for young West Hollywood masseurs. Oy.

This isn’t the first time Karl has had something less than friendly to say about a celebrity. Click through the gallery above for a look back at his cattier comments — and who they were directed towards.

My personal favorite is his strange attack on Heidi Klum. Sigh. Fashion designers are divas–end of story.
